HWI 66

Hollywood What If Chapter 66

"Hah! I wonder how long they can last this farce! In the end, I will get the victory. So many people are sympathizing with me!"

Cassandra roared as she read the notice of the court. She believed that as long as the society sided with her, everything would be fine. 

She just attended another show and many were looking at her with pity and sympathy. They were praying for her. 

Cassandra loved that people were looking at her. She loved the attention very much that she didn't care if she had to lie. 

Besides, just like she didn't have evidence, Kazir's side didn't have evidence either. Both of them were having friction and Cassandra was winning.

"Well, if he apologized and kneeled in front of the public, I will forgive him. Maybe I might even have a relationship with him again. As long as he's useful."

Cassandra was attracted to the new Kazir. However, she was offended when Kazir never looked at him. She wanted to prove to him that she was a high-value woman. No one could shrug her off. 

"But he has to pay the hush money first." She grinned. 

Hollywood was getting hectic these days because of the scandal that she started. 

So many tv networks were talking about her hardship. She was actually shocked by what she did. She thought this case would be simple and fast. Yet more people started hearing about her story. 

The media didn't care about the truth, all they wanted was to give the masses what they wanted. 

A story of a wife getting beaten could generate sympathy. Especially when her husband was the talented director who created a 100 million dollar North American box office... $140 million to be precise. 

The ones that were active about this ABC and other networks under Disney. They were trying to smear Kazir's reputation. 

Especially when The Hangover would be released on June 28.

One of Disney's movies this year, Phenomenon, would be released on July 5 and there was a very strong chance that The Hangover and Phenomenon would have a clash. 

Even Independence Day and The Nutty Professor would be released around the same schedule as The Hangover. 

Universal Pictures joined bashing Kazir just to give The Nutty Professor a higher chance of earning more money. 

As for 20th Century Fox, they didn't have a strong reaction to Kazir's scandal. They covered the story but they didn't promote it. They would rather promote Independence Day than join the scandal. 

Tom Rothman wanted to cooperate with Kazir despite the backlash. He believed that a person like Kazir Grey would never be stopped by a scandal. Tom Rothman met Kazir Grey at the script writing of Napoleon Dynamite II. Kazir didn't show any nervousness as if it was a normal day. 

"It doesn't matter if Kazir wants to keep this farce... I will win." Cassandra grinned. 

She just received a call from Women's rights organizations. They wanted her to be their voice. 

The real mastermind of this scandal was actually Carl Morin and WMA. They didn't want Kazir to be successful after leaving their company. It didn't sit well with them. 

.........

......

...

The day of the press conference arrived. The people from Warner Bros attended the conference. 

In front of so many reporters, Kazir was looking calm and composed. It seemed that he was not affected by the scandal. 

"Before I answer all of your questions. I just want you to watch this."

Kazir said. He didn't bother explaining.

The press conference was being recorded live and many curious people were watching the conference.

On the screen, the people saw Cassandra and an old fat guy in a restaurant. The video was clear enough to identify the two. 

The people were curious so they just shut their mouths and listened.

[What about your husband?]

[Kazir? It's fine. He is useless to me. He is nothing but a man who keeps working hard on nothing. Even his agent, Carl Morin, doesn't believe that he will be successful. I will file for divorce.]

[That might be troublesome.]

[Of course, but I can accuse him of rape and assault.] 

In the recording, everyone witnessed Cassandra chuckling arrogantly.

[The Justice System is always in favor of the weak. In marriage, women are usually the weaker side. Especially if we have children. Mothers are the ones who're going to suffer most after a divorce because feeding a child is not that simple. So I'm going to use my position as a woman to gain sympathy from the court. I'll probably get more than his property. If it didn't work, I can accuse him of rape and assault.] She giggled and sipped a glass of wine. 

[But did he ever hurt you?]

[Kazir? No. He is not even in the house most of the time... So we can have some fun tonight.]

The recording ended.

"Now, everything that you witness is real. This is the real footage of their time in the restaurant of Tribahoe. We have the reservation lists that they checked in the restaurant."

"..."

The reporters were dumbfounded at first. However, the reporters started asking him so many questions that Kazir frowned. 

"I can't understand you if you speak at the same time."

While the reporters were having a feast, the citizens who watched the press conference were shocked. They felt like they were deceived! It was humiliating!

So everything that Cassandra said about being beaten by her husband was false? She was lying!? 

The people felt angry. 

"Does she think we are idiots?"

"Hah! I can't believe that I almost fell for her tricks!"

"Just because of her beauty!"

"Fuck! I even supported her!"

There was one thing that people didn't like, they didn't want to be treated like idiots. They have brains and they could think rationally.

"Cassandra is a lying bitch!"

That was what they thought. 

Kazir started answering their questions. Of course, he chose those who were related to Time Warner. He knew that they would paint him in a better way.

' Let's blacklist Disney and Universal Pictures. I have a limit too. They already pestered me last time, and I can't let it happen again.'

He thought while answering their questions.
